Ha, god, I have several hundred dollars worth of Sailor Moon stuff. It sounds like a lot, but it's mostly packed into one wardrobe drawer.

Hi, I'm lychee-twist, and I've been in to Sailor Moon since it first played on TNT. First episode I ever watched was when Zoisite was trying to gather the seven rainbow crystals and had attacked a priest. I vividly remember watching the priest transform into a boxing vulture and fight Sailor Jupiter.

I said I hated it. One word: Denial. It was awesome, and I was ragingly obsessed with it from ages 10-14, and a much more cerebral super fan from 14-17. Not so ragingly obsessed anymore, but I'll always be a fan.

I'm bummed I can't go to Sakuracon this year. I rarely give a rip about voice actors, but seeing Kotono Mitsuishi would he very, very cool. She married the author of YuYu Hakusho for those of you who don't know. She's really one of the most influential voice actors in Japan from what I can tell.

I already bought Sailor V's comics. I've got the first one in French and the last two in Japanese. Haha! I know what happens! I'm still going to buy them in English

Flower In Furs, do you have a picture of your tattoo? I'd like to see it. Vampire, get those drawings posted if you do them!

Don't feel like a derp lychee, I only knew it because it mentions it in Yoshihiro Togashi (author of YYH)'s bio at the beginning of each volume, and I reread YYH obsessively. Beyond that and knowing that Masashi and Seishi Kishimoto are twins, I know nothing about any mangaka or seiyu.

More on topic, does anyone have know of any tutorials for making a leotard? Because I've pretty much figured out how I'm going to make my Uranus costume for Kumoricon, but my usual sewing approach of 'wing it and alter it if it's too big' probably wouldn't work so well on something that's supposed to be pretty form-fitting.

DUDE. Got you covered. Use the figure skating pattern from a company called Green Pepper. You can buy it at most JoAnn's stores. That's where I got mine. I used a real thin, neoprene scuba like material for my Super Sailor Moon cosplay, and it worked great. The patterns got a V-shaped cut already and everything. I can post a small tutorial on how I did the hip-rolls. It's a little weird, but the results weren't bad and it's pretty structurally sound.

Green Pepper patterns are also super cheap ($8 for the figure skating pattern!). They never go on sale so use a coupon. It's also a company that's based out of Eugene, OR :3 I love that.

Cool, thanks. I've been compiling a list of tutorials to use for this cosplay because she's one of my childhood favorites and I want to do her justice, so I'm trying to get every detail as good as possible. I looked at your dA, your hip rolls looked really good.

Thanks! The hardest part was just sealing them up. You'll need something to shove stuffing in them, too. I'll get into all of that in the tutorial.

While I'm thinking about it, I also highly suggest buying dancers tights. One they're just a bit of warmth, two: they're great for being more modest just in case your miniskirt flies up, three: They really make your legs look even and not mottled like naked skin tends to. My tights hid any bruise, mole, or scar. I'm really happy I bought them. It's like coverup for your legs.

That's rather sad that people would give you nasty looks about the roses. Maybe they were just confused and were born with what I just found out is called "b***h face". It's where you look rather snooty, but you really aren't.

just thought i would post some pics of my moonie tattoo... its not finished and its just my adaptation of the wand, so there is no real accuracy! (getting an adaptation of Chibi-Usa's wand on the other side ^___^)i am posting this because someone asked to see it, but I couldn't find that post! So hope whoever asked gets to see

You have my fiancee's love on account of that tattoo!
